I got the headset from Carbonda.

Does anyone know what the thin metal rings are for? The FSA ACR headset doesn't include them according to the installation manual.

I asked the same question on the CFR707 thread.


From carbonazza:



In general these washers are between the slotted ring and the dust cover.
When you compress the bearings, the dust cover sometimes rub the top of the frame.
Adding one or more washers add some space to have only the seal making a light contact with the frame.

Thanks jannmayer!

So it would be right between the top bearing and the black ring (top left in picture) which cables can run through right?

Other question:
I've some 'cable-rub' when I preload the headset and use my steerer. It seems it's coming from somewhere high in the downtube, around the hole for the Di2 chargeport. I'm building it fully integrated and I use Capgo noise isolation around my back brakecable from the back al the way to the top of the headset bearing. I don't use anything for the Di2 cable (except the Shimano 'zipties') and no Capgo on the front brake cable.

Has anyone ever experienced that? Or is it normal to have some rub for a fully integrated frame?

I have some rub too. From the hydraulic hoses in my case.

Is anybody running 650 wheels? What size tire can you get on? Debating getting a set of 650s for pure gravel rides.

Way too wide, they're useful from 40mm onwards. That won't fit.

650s are too wide? There is another poster, Parkerross, running 42mm Rene Herse Pumpkin Ridges. So I know those fit, just seeing what other's experience is.

So I finished my bike about 1 month ago. Very very happy with it. A step (leap?) forwards coming from a Cube Aerial. Very direct, responsive, easy to ride and reassuring. Just rides fast. I go about 3-4km faster with 15 BPM less heartrate in my case. Can't find anything my Cube did better.

Very happy with the end result! Picture was without bartape for easy last minute adjustment of the brake levers. Will take a picture of the driveside one day. But first I've got some KM's to shred! 8)

just curious, is anyone running this as a gravel bike? The 1056 appeals to me as a frame that could double up as a road or gravel bike (perhaps with 2 sets of wheels), and I was wondering if I'm correct in this assessment.

I wouldn't recommend using it as a gravel bike. Even though the stack and reach are the same as a 696, you can really feel the geometry (head tube angle, wheelbase) is more road-oriented, so agility over stability.

Hi All, just received my 1056 frame today. See attached pic. Havn't taken any weights etc. Not sure on the colour tbh. It's RAL3032 metallic with logos in RAL 7016 (which looks a bit too dark). I'm sure I'll grow to like it but right now I wish I went for a brighter colour. To compensate, at the same time my 707 frameset arrived (in the same box) in RAL 1003 (Signal Yellow), and that looks awesome!

Won't be able to build them up for a while a have a few bikes already in the workshop.

If anyone has any q's about the process or weights then let me know.

I was using mine with 700x32 road tires on gravel and road mix this week. A few of the roads I would have liked wider but the bike itself handled it well.

I’m holding out to see if I can get a used set with some 38/40s. I think that would be ideal of the gravel I deal with.

like everything else with gravel it really depends on what gravel regularly is where you ride and what is your road / gravel mix? if you ride mostly hard pack, bit of washboard, some ruts etc. (basically the strada bianchi) you will be just fine. i can happily ride this even on a madone with 28's. i don't necessarily recommend (on a madone!) it but it's doable. 32c or better yet maxing out to 35c would be ideal if riding the 1056.

single track, roots, mud, lots of loose rock etc. is a whole other story.

Does anyone know how the front brake hose routing works in this frame? for internal routing, is it routed up and out of the fork steerer?
